With regards to the migration of the Euronext Core Data Centre from Basildon in the United Kingdom to Bergamo in Italy, Euronext successfully finalised the build phase of the data centre in Q4 2021, which focused on setting up the Production infrastructure (servers and networks) and the Colocation room (client racks). Client connectivity has been implemented and is now operational. Optiq®, Euronext’s proprietary state of-the-art technology, has also been successfully installed in Bergamo. The colocation and connectivity offerings have been designed and shared with clients. As a next step, Euronext is working on the client installation (equipment shipping, installation, and testing), which is set to be finalised in June 2022. 2022 Costs Guidance To highlight its underlying performance, from Q1 2022 Euronext will adjust its operating expenses and publish an adjusted EBITDA excluding non-recurring items, such as implementation costs related to the Borsa Italiana Group integration. In 2022, Euronext expects its underlying operating costs excluding depreciation and amortisation (D&A) (2) to be around €622.0 million, compared to the annualised fourth quarter of 2021 underlying operating costs excluding D&A (€627 million). In addition, Euronext expects to incur around €50.0 million of non- recurring implementation costs in 2022, out of the announced €160 million of non-recurring implementation costs to deliver on the “Growth for Impact 2024” strategic plan.
